In need of a chair for my office makeover, I turned to a hand-me-down from my aunt.

When choosing fabric for a single chair or small project, don’t forget the REMNANTS section of your fabric store. I was able to get fabric originally priced at $39.99 per yard for just $6 at JoAnn Fabrics.




I gave the chair a light sanding and sprayed on primer and paint. Then re-covered the seat with my staple gun—and Voila! A new chair for my office space. I will soon be posting more projects in the office.

You can often find chairs at your local thrift store. Remember a coat of paint can do wonders.
